Put some clothes on!

My sister and brother-in-law spent the night here (my bed), for they were taking a 5 am flight (I'm 4 miles to SFO) to Athens, Greece for their 2 week cruise.
So I slept in the spare room ("mom's room"), in a small twin bed. Woke up cold (the window faces west, towards the cold fog wind), and with a mild sore throat :(.

I get this every season, due mostly to weather changes, warm days and colder evenings, and not wearing much at the bars, and beer busts on the weekends. You would think that after 20+ yrs of going out, I would keep my clothes on (shirt), or wear something warmer at the bars and have a coat or something to put on when venturing outside. Especially this time of yr. I do this in early spring too (and of course get a cold). Fall is one of my favorite times of the yr. But I dress like it's still summer. Stubborn me. But then again even a child, my mom kept telling me to put on a coat. I hate layers of clothing. And this probably stems from being too bundled up when living in Quebec when young. I remember being dressed like I was going to the moon. Layers of clothing, and my mittens safety pined to the sleeve of my coat. Then walking to school, and taking forever to get it all off for class. :(. And the hassle to take it all off just to pee. (and yes, I did once get my tongue stuck on a railing in the winter. Doesn't every kid do that in cold climates?)

a mess: ramblings

I have been glued to the TV since for the past few days, watching CNBC, CNN, NBC FOX.... from Maria to Glenn Beck, to Bill O'Riley. No strike that. I hate Bill O'Riley.
I may be wrong, but agree what has been said, it will take yrs to figure out, or at least admit (our politicians/govn't) what has happened to our economy. It is complicated, and there are many causes. many I do not understand. But here are my off the cuff thoughts:

1. Greed
2. Greed and brokering of sub-prime loans, where many have gotten rich. And that also includes, Democrats and Republicans alike. They may have also profited from this. Hence looked the other way. Remember Wall Street Execs and politicians do sleep with each other.
3. They (Govn't regulators) have been asleep at the wheel. Not motoring what was happening. That's also includes Dem and Reps.
4. Warnings of this happening has been forecast by many experts (that many did not want to hear) since the summer of 2007.
5. And the big problem = our debt. Sorta like maxing out your credit cards, then using other credit cards to make payments on existing tapped out credit cards. It gets out of control. Tax cuts of any kind, from either party is not the answer (but of course it is election yr, so this is always good bate for any incumbent). We just need to fiscally responsible, and tighten our belts.
6. For example, one of the biggest contributors to our debt is SSI and Medicare. They have not been adjusted for age, and income level for yrs. People are now living longer, since these programs were created. These are adding trillions to the debt. And of course the war does not help.
7. Just as a home budget, it hurts to tighten finances, but this may be in the long run the only solution for our future. The continued borrowing of money, from other countries, to pay our escalating debt is not always the best? We just get deeper and deeper into trouble. Eventually our world credit rating will be lowered. And see us as a bad investment. Not good :(
8. Like one declaring bankruptcy to clean the mess, maybe we need an economic collapse. Then start all over with a clean slate :(

Damn things have changed. When I took Physics in the stone age, lots of these terms did not exsit. It's all Greek to me (of course it was all Greek to me even then :)
